The envelope below went on the RMS (Royal Mail Ship) Lusitania posted on 26th September 1889 and arriving in Bristol on 7th November 1889 (6 weeks).
This was an earlier Lusitania than the one sunk by a German U-boat in May 1915 - this Lusitania was launched in 1871 and wrecked off Nova Scotia on 26th June 1901, as per the newspaper cutting below.
